What make and model?
It's little dip in the ale could be a clincher for someone deciding between two phones ;)

its a nokia n95. w@nk phone. but seems to be robust. I dropped it down the stairs a few times, its fallen out of my overalls loads and hit the concrete and now I dropped it in a pint for about 3 seconds and its absolutely fine!! :thumb: :thumb:
Nokia's are quite sterdy. I dropped my old Nokia down the loo once, left it to dry out on the aga and it worked the next day.

I took the case off and dried it out with the hand driers in the gents inside Anfield last night. The screen wouldn't light up but when I got home it was ok.
Just reeks of stale beer hahaha

maybe its like the video someone sent me of two girls 'playing' in a cubicle ;-)
Probably texting me whilst having a number 2 :wtf:
Hendrix, thats a waste of alcohol! I would have sucked the ale off the phone rather than dry it off lol
Actually my N95 has been pretty good. Had it since December and its only crashed once, but that was probably due to me trying to run 10 apps at once :D Also its the only phone I've had where the screen hasn't scratched once despite living in my pocket next to my keys.

Agree with that Jack, I got mine the first week it came out and still no scratches. However I'm still running the original firmware, thats probably why its got so many bugs. The camera is awesome though but...allll the bugsss lol No flash, random reset, people can't hear you talking, I have no volume key (the button soldered to the circuit board snapped off) and consequently no camera zoom.
Still its survived being dropped and dunked so has my vote :thumb:
Only thing is now, the secondary camera is very...foggy!
I went to go to the loo and as I pulled my trousers down it fell out of my pocket.lol

lol lol
Lmao, good ole Nokias.
I did exactly the same thing with my then Brand new Samsung e700, and it completely died.
Got it changed under warranty lol
Aye. Nokia's do take a beating TBH. The old 8210's last forever too.
My N70 has lasted well so far and took some uber beating, same as a 6230i i had that 2 years without many issues at all.
My N95 got dropped once, and subsequently the slider feels a lot looser than it was lol
Great little phone. The hands free volume is shockingly bad though! And for some reason when i synchronise it with Outlook, it decides to wipe all the numbers out of my phonebook that aren't on the PC. Fapping annoying.
All you posh users with N95's lol i only buy cheap phones as they get bladdered in paint within a few weeks lol
Keh? My N95 is sh!t! random turns off, randomly switches to 'offline mode', through it at my sofa and the screen came off the runner, all three speakers are gone (sounds like they're full of gravel) it freezes, crashes, etc.
Camera's great tho :) lol
The best phone I think I had was a Sony Ericsson W810i - that was launchd 25ft across my garden into a wall + gravel drive (I was having a VERY bad day) - and not a mark on it, didn't even spit the battery out. Also it survived underwater for about 20secs without a problem. Good phone in my opinion

my old sony ericsonn k800i is pretty good, dropped it in the bath completely submerged, didnt even affect it hardly, just the lock key wouldnt work for a while, all works perfect now tho
And for some reason when i synchronise it with Outlook, it decides to wipe all the numbers out of my phonebook that aren't on the PC. Fapping annoying.
Synchronizing? Serves you right for being a yuppie then :p

my vote is with the K800i. I dropped mine down a drain, completely submerged in about a foot of drain wee and its still goin strong.
I had the same problem as graham with the keypad and a screen problem for about a day. Screen is nice and scratched, same with the camera screen, along with the casing. Rat look works well. I used to favour nokia but sony got my vote with this one.
